Career
Did you know that according to the Dictionary of Foreign Words and Expressions, the term "career" means "rapid, successful advancement, achievement"? Interestingly, the Hungarian explanatory dictionary also notes that the term often carries a pejorative connotation.
What are you facing?
You don’t have to deal with it alone.
The topic of career generally includes longer-term goals and plans aimed at maximizing an individual's professional development, and workplace performance. This can include planning career development, advancement, changing positions or jobs, or even moving into new fields. To make these happen, you may need to complete smaller (e.g. writing a CV, preparing for an interview) and bigger (e.g. creating a SWOT analysis) tasks as well.
If you'd like your own progress to be successful too, take advantage of the supportive atmosphere of psychological counseling:
defining goals and planning an implementation plan
mapping competencies
developing leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills
supporting workplace or position changes
developing stress management, frustration tolerance, and tolerance for monotony
creating work-life balance
planning your life path with the help of aligning personal and professional goals
It is important that when we talk about our career, we are not only talking about the position we hold at work or the salary attached to it, but in fact about the individual's overall professional path, development, and life goals. Career planning and implementation can be a very exciting part of our lives, and it can bring many challenges for our resources. Let's work to make sure the negative meaning does not become the defining one when people use this term.
